The technology issues a large medical institution faces are akin to the challenges a medium-sized city faces.
Tom Sears, CEO and co-founder of Infection Control University in St. Louis: All of the software and platforms that support the successful flow of information to where it is needed and when it is needed are critical to assess with each new IT addition, upgrade or service. The software integration and contribution of data and information for synthesis and analysis from each department helps the community run safely, securely and properly without interruption. Constant system improvement, corrections and enhancements within every facility should be planned and tested on an ongoing basis in little iterations rather than larger risky launches.
